          Hi Old Guy
          I'll have fun this weekend at WW V . Its held near Pheonix AZ this time every year.
          Forecast to be in the 70s and 80s F . Not to sure what that is in C . But its shorts and T shirt weather, and sunscreen is a good idea. Every year some one from up north forgets the sunscreen . Bad idea .

          There are an amazing number of Canadians that come to AZ every winter. A lot of them with BC plates , Some even buy houses down here. Some how they have it figured out . Houses are pretty cheap in AZ right now. I bought one . Test lake less then 2 miles from home . and only Old folks can live there.
          But no FE racers yet . Old Guy , you ought to try it some time .

                                I'll share a Google image of my terrian as well. The red dot on the right is my house. All the yellow dots are existing and new ponds not on Google.

                                Enjoy!
